In the Soloist Line: The Signature Designed with Chris Broderick
Born from the collaboration between Jackson and Chris Broderick, this Soloist carries the brand?s "high-performance" DNA and adds the demands of a guitarist accustomed to extreme tempos and complex arrangements. Mahogany body topped with a flamed maple cap, neck-through construction, and premium hardware: everything is geared towards precision, reliability, and sound projection both on stage and in the studio.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Designed for modern metal, prog, and thrash guitarists, the Soloist 6 excels in both standard and dropped tunings thanks to its impeccable tuning stability and tight low-end response. The humbuckers? coil-splitting opens up clearer textures for arpeggios and atmospheric passages, while the kill switch enables creative rhythmic punctuations.
Key Features and Innovations
Neck-through and Ergonomics
The 3-piece maple neck-through body maximizes sustain and access to high notes. The ebony fingerboard with a 12" radius balances comfort for heavy rhythm playing and control for solos. The 24 jumbo stainless steel frets provide smooth playability and stable intonation, even with heavier gauge strings.
Stage-Ready Electronics
The pair of DiMarzio Chris Broderick CB6 pickups, mounted directly to the body, deliver precise attack, rich harmonics, and tight lows. A 3-position toggle switch covers essential pickup combinations, the volume control integrates a push/pull coil-split, and the tone control features a second push/pull for instant brightness adjustment. The momentary kill switch adds an immediate performance dimension.
High-Precision and Reliable Tremolo
The recessed Gotoh GE1996T bridge ensures perfect tuning return after the most extreme effects. Combined with the Floyd Rose locking nut and Jackson die-cast tuners, it guarantees robust tuning stability. The "Transparent Black" finish with reversed AT-1 headstock and black hardware delivers a decidedly metal aesthetic.
